Re: Communicating to users what GNOME 3.0 is
Hi All: The accessibility changes are big - and as it's a core component of GNOME (accessible to all) there's probably a lot more we could be doing around it. (I'm not an expert on accessibility in any way, shape or form). I use the phrase the perfect storm when it comes to the a11y work for GNOME 3: bonobo deprecation, WebKit, and GNOME Shell are all difficult challenges when it comes to accessibility. However, to put a positive spin on it... 1) The move away from Bonobo/CORBA to D-Bus lays the foundation for GNOME accessibility to be available on more devices. It also provides a common infrastructure that can be used by KDE -- if things go well, people will be able to access KDE GUI's using GNOME assistive technologies. This will give them access they've never had before. 2) We're hoping to improve the out of the box experience for setting up Universal Access preferences - http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/NewPreferencesGUI. This will make the GNOME desktop more approachable to a larger number of people. 3) The work with http://live.gnome.org/Caribou will provide tighter mouse-only integration with the desktop, helping people with disabilities as well as touch-screen users. 4) The better integration with GDM will provide an easier way to set up accessible login.

Paul: The accessibility changes are big - and as it's a core component of GNOME (accessible to all) there's probably a lot more we could be doing around it. (I'm not an expert on accessibility in any way, shape or form). While the planned a11y changes are big, I do not think that they have much immediate end-user facing impact. For example, I do not believe there are any exciting new a11y use-cases that are planned to be supported in GNOME 3.0, or any new significant accessibility tools. Switching from bonobo to D-Bus does mean two exciting things: - GNOME can finally deprecate ORBit2 and bonobo, something that has been desired for a long time. - Switching to D-Bus will help the GNOME and KDE community work more closely together moving forward to develop a common a11y infrastructure. Over time, this could lead to some exciting innovation, but this will probably happen gradually with end users noticing the benefits much later than the initial GNOME 3.0 release. From an end-user perspective, these changes probably will not be very visible. If anything, the switch to GNOME 3.0 will probably be seen as a step backwards for many a11y users for the following reasons: - It took many years to tweak the use of ORBit2 and bonobo so that a11y features run as fast as they do today. Switching to D-Bus will likely introduce some new performance issues that will likely, again, take time to resolve. - GNOME Shell, other OpenGL/clutter components, and WebKit seem slow about addressing a11y issues. So, there is a real risk that the GNOME 3.0 release will have some serious a11y regressions. I imagine that these issues will be addressed over time, but may not be working well until a follow-up GNOME 3.x release. Remember that the GNOME 2.0 release was held up for a very long time due (in part) to a11y, and even so it was not until about GNOME 2.10 that a11y in GNOME really started being usable. Obviously we will need to wait an see, perhaps GNOME 3.0 and a11y will come together more elegantly than I suggest above. However, if not, then it might be hard to promote a11y as being an exciting new feature of GNOME 3.0. We may only be able to claim that GNOME 3.0 provides some exciting new non-user-facing a11y infrastructure, which is probably not very exciting if the end-user experience is actually worse for users with a11y needs.

Getting user group contacts into the CRM
Hi all, I'd like to see us start organising our GNOME User Groups, looking for information on what various groups are up to, and encourage them in the types of activities they want to do. We have the gugmasters list, which is in theory a great resource for GNOME User Group representatives. We have 52 members on that list right now, and almost zero traffic for 2009. How do people suggest we organise GNOME User Groups in CiviCRM? I thought that each GUG should have a group (like a company) and members of a user group would be people, with a belongs to relationship with the user group. This would give us a start on understanding who is representing the various user groups, to begin with, and we can build from there with campaigns like (for example) participation in software freedom day, co-ordinating local press pushes in countries we're present in, and generally taking advantage of the global nature of the organisation.

Perhaps there are other opportunist attendees? People who don't feel prominent enough to manifest themselves vote for a time, but who might attend the meeting if it were at a convenient time for them? I notice that 4 of the 6 voters are based in the US - and Valessio Andreas apparently would have no trouble having the meeting at 3am local time for him (suggesting perhaps timezone issues there too?).

The more we can do that doesn't require real-time meetings, the better. (We should have occasional real-time meetings, but the times will never work for everyone.) I've been thinking of what kind of organisations need communication like ours. The best I can come up with is globally distributed armed guerilla groups. Bear with me for a sec. Typically, there are 3 key problems that guerilla groups have: 1. Local recruitment 2. Global co-operation and co-ordination 3. Local independent action Local groups leverage globally visible events, both good (we struck an important blow for the cause) bad (the bad guys are conspiring against us) to recruit new members into local chapters. Some of these members get sent to different local chapters or to corporate based on their skillset, others stay local. Global groups co-ordinate the local groups from time to time, ask for manpower for certain operations, but basically set a strategic direction and are happy to recruit the jihadists who show the most potential in the local organisations for further training higher goals. And local groups are happy to have general direction set via regularly communicated messages, while maintaining total independence to grow, recruit act locally. Every now then, new local groups arise from nothing, and get co-opted into the global infrastructure through a network built on personal connections and confidence. Doesn't that sound like us? Anyway - just brainstorming on what kinds of structures have our problems, and how they've addressed them, to see if there's anything we can learn. This thought is still quite vague, not sure how valuable it is yet... let's see where the idea goes.

Mozilla draft press release: Deadline for input Friday 16:00 UTC
Hi all, Draft release attached / included. Rough draft. Looking for input and corrections. Thanks! Mozilla Sponsors GNOME Accessibility Efforts BOSTON, Mass -- January 19, 2020 -- The GNOME Foundation is happy to announce a substantial donation from the Mozilla Corporation to benefit the GNOME Project's accessibility efforts. The donation will help continue the collaborative efforts between GNOME and Mozilla on Accessibility. The Mozilla Corporation is granting the GNOME Foundation $10,000 for 2010. The funds will be used in part to send GNOME developers to the CSUN Conference. CSUN is one of the premier technology conferences for people with disabilities, and by funding an accessibility hackfest at the conference can ensure a diverse group of GNOME developers are immersed in the accessibility space. The direct impact of the Mozilla funding has allowed GNOME to add Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) support to the Orca screen reader and other accessibility enhancements in GNOME, said William Walker of the GNOME Accessibility Team. All these helped make GNOME/Orca a compelling free alternative to commercial products for the visually impaired. As a result, we're seeing users around the world using GNOME as their every day solution. GNOME has had great success integrating internationalization (i18n) into the core platform, as a part of shared responsibility for all developers. Accessibility is also taking its place as a core value of the platform. Sending GNOME developers to CSUN will help to ensure that developers working on all areas of GNOME are well-educated on accessibility issues and continue to build accessibility features and functions into GNOME rather than bolted-on features. As the leading free software desktop, the GNOME Project's work is particularly important to Mozilla, said Frank Hecker of Mozilla Corporation. The work so far has improved accessibility not only for Firefox, but the entire GNOME platform. The GNOME Foundation and Mozilla are committed to open source, open standards, and open formats. Both organizations and their contributors contribute to numerous projects to ensure an open Web and open desktop platform for all users. Part of that effort is working hard to ensure users with physical disabilities are able to make use of a free desktop and Web browser. About GNOME and the GNOME Foundation GNOME is a free-software project whose goal is to develop a complete, accessible and easy to use desktop for Linux and Unix-based operating systems. GNOME also includes a complete development environment to create new applications. It is released twice a year on a regular schedule. The GNOME desktop is used by millions of people around the world. GNOME is a standard part of all leading GNU/Linux and Unix distributions, and is popular with both large existing corporate deployments and millions of small business and home users worldwide.

Part of that effort is working hard to ensure users with physical disabilities are able to make use of a free desktop and Web browser. About GNOME and the GNOME Foundation GNOME is a free-software project whose goal is to develop a complete, accessible and easy to use desktop for Linux and Unix-based operating systems. GNOME also includes a complete development environment to create new applications. It is released twice a year on a regular schedule. The GNOME desktop is used by millions of people around the world. GNOME is a standard part of all leading GNU/Linux and Unix distributions, and is popular with both large existing corporate deployments and millions of small business and home users worldwide. Composed of hundreds of volunteer developers and industry-leading companies, the GNOME Foundation is an organization committed to supporting the advancement of GNOME. The Foundation is a member directed, non-profit organization that provides financial, organizational and legal support to the GNOME project and helps determine its vision and roadmap.

Re: GNOME Store Update?
I learnt something the hard way. Thought I should share. Some of my sites dont work on Android browser. Not sure if we care about testing on Android and iPhone but just a thought maybe we should include them in the list too.

Re: Welcome to Google Grants!

As a reminder, Google Grants allows us to advertise through Google AdWords. It's basically like a grant of advertising money. Awesome! -Srini Thanks to Claus Schwarm for his help in filling out the application. I will work on the next steps later this week or early next week. If anyone has experience creating Google Adwords campaigns, I'd welcome the help. (Their directions say to allow 3-9 hours to learn the system.) Otherwise I'll set up our account and then start with the campaigns we proposed in our application and send them out here for review.
